Here's the official VRT film of our sold out and very successful twilight fast taxy event held here at London Southend Airport on May 18th 2024.
It's just over an hour long and is pretty comprehensive, with unique views from the top of XL426, inside the bomb bay and new for 2024, since we've now been able to replace the glass, a view from inside the bomb aimers window.
For those that don't want to spend time hunting down 'the howl', there's one veeeery long one at about 39 minutes and again for the fast taxy at about 49 minutes.
Please enjoy!

Amazing aircraft. The commitment of everyone that is working to keep this bird running is inspirational.

She's looking really smart! The amount of hard work and dedication poured into her really shows.

@Ian-xq4rt 24 дня назад

Oh how I’d love to see it fly again, great to see it being kept alive and just down the road too, great work and true passion.

Aircraft looks and sounds in fine shape. Well done the Engineering Team.

Greetings from North Carolina, USA. Thank you for all that you are doing to keep this amazing bird running. I can only imagine the hours/money required to keep her howling! Great job! Cheers, Josh

Awesome! Growing up on RAF stations I took it for granted watching these jets flying around. Much respect to the team that makes this happen I know it take s a lot of effort to keep the big bird in shape. 🙂

Looks better than when I worked on her in service. Feels like yesterday.

What a fabulous aircraft she is, thank you.

I saw the prototype fly way back at the SBAC show and saw XH558 flying 5 times in her last year. Great to watch this video from begining to end. What can you say beyond WOW. Thank you so much.

Lovely to see the team light her up again well done

@markwallis7199 24 дня назад

Enjoyed as instructed 😁 From seeing these fly as a kid to supporting XH558 with a fly in using our R44 for Pete Rigby's Coventry re-opening Help for Heroes event for I've 'followed their journey'.

Wow what an interesting video. Would have loved to be there live. Also what beautiful airfield.

@norrisollie 22 дня назад

It was amazing to go and watch

@mattd1142 21 день назад

Would be amazing if they just lifted off instead of cutting the power hahah. Amazing job lads! Keeping her in great condition

I once watched one of these beasts taking off at an airshow. The word 'loud' doesn't do the experience justice. It basically rips the air apart.

@budgie003 25 дней назад

Is it destined to fly again?

@alexpage7292 25 дней назад

@user-pp1ni2jy3f 25 дней назад

She sounds good. Hopefully a test flight is next. I believe HRH Charles flew one of these 50 years ago.

@philipcrabtree1679 25 дней назад

50 years ago King Charles was flying a Wessex V helicopter on 845 Naval Air Squadron. I was on the Squadron at the time

@user-fz8ep5ey4v 24 дня назад

I remember as a kid driving past Scampton , up the Lincoln Ramper , and watching seven or eight of these aircraft take off on after the other .. must have been something like 60 years ago maybe.

@markwallis7199 24 дня назад

Wow! A Red Arrows displays of Vulcans? 😁

@BaronFlyingClub 24 дня назад

Subscribed. I fly this in VR.

@simonlunt353 24 дня назад

I know it cost a lot of money too keep these beautiful airplanes up there in the sky but why can’t we have these planes flying again

@TenDegrees 22 дня назад

I second this inquiry! Is it a parts availability issue or is there just no desire there in the UK to keep one flying? Would be cool to have one last flying copy making the airshow circuits. I have the same wish for our native F-14 tomcat here in the states. Should have NEVER sold them to Iran otherwise we would still have a few flying.

@HughShower 22 дня назад

It’s multiple issues including parts, qualified mechanics and pilots, money! but there might well be an airframe lifespan issue where vast numbers of components, namely wing spars, would have to be replaced.
